How to Fold a Hoodie

A good fold saves space and keeps your hoodie from creasing.

Lay it flat

Lay the hoodie face down on a clean flat surface. Smooth out the wrinkles.

Fold in the hood

Flatten the hood down onto the back of the hoodie so it does not bunch.

Fold in the sides

Fold one side in towards the middle, bringing the sleeve across, then repeat on the other side.

Fold from the bottom

Fold the hem up to the top, then once more if you need it smaller.

Store it

Place it in a drawer so it stands on its folded edge. See how to store tracksuits.

Why folding beats hanging

Hanging a heavy hoodie stretches the shoulders and leaves bumps. Folding keeps the shape and saves space.

Keeping the hood tidy

Fold the hood flat down the back before you fold the body, so it does not create a lump in the stack.

Storing a stack

Store folded hoodies on a shelf, with the newest at the bottom so you rotate wear. See how to store tracksuits.
